> Hello to my clay friends:
>
> I am a ceramic artist, living in Florida and recently returned from a
> wonderful year traveling on a boat thru the Caribbean.
>
> The inspiration for this new series comes from observing the many
> typical (and assymetrical) structures which are built from scraps of
wood, tin, and anything else. Such interesting and often whimsical
architecture
> predominated on almost every island. I have tried to duplicate that spirit
> in my expressionistic renderings of them. I used a ^6 stoneware (oxidation
> fired) with oxide washes. The whole series of Island Houses (about 15 so
far) is titled
"Love Shack", namesaked after a particular place in Plymouth, Tobago.
>
> The series is still "in progress" but 3 pieces were recently part of the
> annual juried Broward Potters Guild exhibition in Florida.
>
> I hope you enjoy viewing them. I certainly have enjoyed creating them.
